Mike Cass-Superman

Post by Ben Lawson »

I just wanted to say what a great job Mike did bringing my old P/P back from a near death experience. This guitar was put together By Jimmie Crawford in '77 and has not been apart since. Mike was faced with the task of rebuilding this thing after 25 years of wear. To say it was a little dirty would be like saying the Grand Canyon is a little hole in the ground.
Mike was able to get it done even with the flu and a tight time constraint because I had to play in NJ the next night.
It plays great and looks almost like new.
Thanks again, Mike, for a job extremely well done.

I'll second all the above!!

He is finishing a total restoration of a wood neck PP for me that was in BAD shape, he gave me a sneak pre-view and it does not even look like the same guitar, it is now the coolest looking guitar I have ever seen!!

Mike has worked on several guitars for me (including a total restroation on a ugly Sho- Bud which also turned out killer)and his work is second to none!

Thanks Mike!

Not to change the subject but when you say Superman, it's not an understatement when you hear Mike play...WoW! Mike you really impressed me in Tulsa.

Kurt, I have to agree with you 100%. Mike is one monster player. Tulsa was my first time to see Mike play and I was impressed.

Had talked to Mike over the phone, but met him for the first time at the Tulsa show. A fine gentleman and outstanding player!
